Login-walled surface

An AI surface that requires a signed-in account before it will answer: the Claude consumer app, Meta AI, DeepSeek, Amazon Rufus, and Grok. Anonymous proxy scraping structurally cannot reach them. There is no session to borrow. Reaching a login-walled surface takes either the vendor’s official API (a surrogate for the UI) or a real authenticated browser session.

In AI Search API

Claude is live today via the official Anthropic API, the honest interim. Authenticated browser capture of login-walled consumer UIs is phase-2 roadmap: Meta AI, DeepSeek, Amazon Rufus and Grok are not yet valid surfaces values, and requesting them is rejected outright rather than mocked.
